Somehow one of Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival's biggest surprises was its director wearing a suit

pcgamer.com:

Final Fantasy 14's third and final Fan Festival of the Endwalker expansion just took place in Tokyo over the weekend. While there was a surprise lack of release date for upcoming expansion Dawntrail, we did get to see tons of neat stuff: female hrothgar, artsy class Pictomancer, and a bizarro cyberpunk world that has me wondering just what the hell the Warrior of Light is getting up to on his summer vacation.

Yet amongst all of the news, that somehow wasn't the biggest surprise of the weekend. No, it was something far more strange, more sinister. By far one of the most talked about things was director and producer Naoki Yoshida turning up to the festival's PvP tournament finals in a suit. Shirt, blazer, tie, the whole shebang.

It sounds like nothing—and really, it is—but it was a mighty uncharacteristic appearance for Yoshida, more commonly known as Yoshi-P by the community. After all, the man turned up to Dawntrail's expansion reveal in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles t-shirt, which turned out to be a hint for the Pictomancer class. At October's Fan Festival he donned a cosplay for the Viper, the expansion's first class to be revealed. He's more often than not seen in designer hoodies, t-shirts, jeans and an absolute metric ton of jewellery. Seeing Yoshi-P dressed up as a salaryman is certifiable fashion whiplash.

I suppose if we were going to see Yoshi-P dress smartly for anything, it'd be PvP. His love for the mode is well documented at this point—he's been spotted frequently playing the mode in Japanese servers, and some eyebrow-raising buffs for his main class were heavily memed on until he pulled the changes and apologised. He was also spotted sitting on the floor to check out the PvP tournament that took place at
